IMS 100 Time of Flight (TOF)
3D Door Protection Sensor
Mounting in Center-Opening Applications:
For Surface Mounting Applications:
For elevators with center-opening doors, the sensor should be
located in the elevator cab transom at the center of the door
opening to achieve best performance. The sensor cable may exit
the IMS 100 in either direction (left or right).
Before beginning a surface mount installation, please read this
section carefully and completely.

Installation Guide
Thank you for purchasing your IMS 100 3D Door Protection Sensor.
This “Quick Start” installation guide provides basic mounting and
installation information for the IMS 100 sensor intended for use by
qualified elevator installation personnel.
For additional
information, please reference the IMS 100 Installation and
Operation Manual (PN: 106 854) available at no charge at:

Before beginning installation of the IMS 100, you must be sure that
the elevator has been properly placed “Out of Service” to ensure
that it will not be allowed to move during the installation. You must
follow all applicable safety protocols, rules and regulations.
Upon completion of the installation and integration of the
IMS 100 sensor, qualified elevator installation personnel must
ensure that the installation and integration complies with
applicable local, regional and national regulatory requirements and
that the operation of the elevator control system, including the
door protection system (e.g. light curtain and IMS 100), performs in
accordance with the application and regulatory requirements.
Description:
The IMS 100 sensor is used to enhance elevator door protection
systems by providing sensor detection in front of the elevator cab
entrance. It may be used with existing two-dimensional (2D)
elevator door protection systems such as light curtains, singlebeam sensors or mechanical edges to add a three-dimensional (3D)
element of protection. The IMS 100 is ideal for new elevators and
the modernization of existing elevator systems.
Mounting:
The IMS 100 sensor may be used with both center-opening and
side-opening elevator doors. The ideal mounting location is in the
elevator cab transom using either flush or surface mounting. The
following sections provide information regarding both the
mounting location (e.g. for center-opening and side-opening
doors) and the mounting type (surface or flush mounting).
Mounting in Side-Opening Applications:
For elevators with side-opening doors, the sensor is located in the
elevator cab transom nearest to the door opening point. For best
performance, the sensor cable should be oriented so that it exits
the IMS 100 toward the center of the cab.

Start by determining where the sensor will be mounted in the
elevator cab transom. Drill two 3.2 mm (1/8 inch) holes for the
sensor box (1) 100 mm apart in the elevator cab transom (2).
Make sure that the first hole is more than 22mm from the side
edge in side-opening door applications. Drill a 10 mm (3/8 inch)
hole into the elevator cab transom (2) for the sensor cable.
Secure the sensor

transom (2) using

screws (3).

Then, secure the IMS 100 sensor in place by using two fixing pins

elevator cab transom. Slide the sensor (4) with the mounting
bracket (5) into the hole and secure it in place using two
mounting clips (6).
Electrical Connection Information:
Before beginning a flush mounting installation, please read this
section carefully and completely.
We recommend CEDES Switching Power Supply (PN: 106 666) or
equivalent 24 V DC power supply for powering the IMS 100.
The IMS 100 cable consists of the following conductors:
2 Start by determining where the sensor will be mounted in the
elevator cab transom. Mark a rectangular shape of 29 x 111 mm
on the elevator cab transom (1). Make sure that the distance to the
front edge of the elevator cab transom (2), hall side, is as short as
possible. The distance to the front edge must be between 17 mm
and 250 mm. For side-opening doors, make sure that there is more
than 7 mm between the slam post and the first hole (i.e. the above
diagram is for a door that closes from left to right and the sensor is
on the right hand side).
Snap the sensor (3)
into the mounting
bracket (4). Angle the
sensor toward the cab
door as shown below.

Timeout Function (white conductor)
When a moving person or object is detected within the IMS 100
field of view, the output will transition to inactive (low, e.g. 0 V DC).
The IMS 100 can also be configured to use a “Timeout” setting by
connecting the white conductor as indicated in the table below. A
timer begins timing when it is first triggered after the elevator door
opens. When the timer reaches its setpoint value (e.g. 18 s), the
sensor will be disabled until the next door opening.
